Statement from President David E. Garland about the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights investigation

Today, I sent a letter to the U. S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights pledging Baylor University's full cooperation with their Title IX review. Over the past year, Baylor has undergone a comprehensive assessment of its response to sexual violence resulting in the adoption of 105 recommendations for improvement. Within five months, we have completed or made significant progress on more than 90 percent of these recommendations. Should the OCR identify additional areas of improvement, we will work on those immediately. We are whole-heartedly committed to cultivating a safe and supportive environment for all members of the Baylor community.
